Arlo Go focus on car tags.

[dottieskipper]

The Arlo Go does show cars coming through our driveway but will not focus on the tag numbers.  No matter how I slow the video up, enlarge the picture, no numbers.  Also, it often will video the car coming in, but we never see the same car leaving, when there is a quick leave.  How can I fix that--is it the length of the video that needs changing?

As to getting plate numbers...can say it's prob not going to happen.

This cameras are designed with more of a wide angle and unless your talking a short distance, it will not have enough Rez to see them clearly.

You would need a hi Rez cam focused tightly on the center bumber line of a vehicle to do so

As to the second issue, yes maybe an increase of time

[dottieskipper]

as in, how short a distance.  I have some wiggle room for that.  Regarding the second issue, It was set on 10 second videos, what would you suggest?

[manfredz]

try setting to the max 120 sec

You'll have to get close....

here's a Q camera at about 30ft ... its a 1080 rez cam.  ( and the cars were still )

zoomed in to see and here's what you get;

Like I said... if you want plates, you need a tight aimed camera at the bumper level ( which would be more like an ID cam; small area so you can capture what you want )

These are more designed as ACTIVITY cams, you will see when it happened and what, but not get an ID shots
